When a country or city bids to host an international sporting event, it often promises that more people will take up sports as a result. London was no exception. In the end it did not turn out quite like that. Just over onethird of people in Britain take part in sports once a week. A report on Olympic legacy (后续) has said that a big change in participation levels simply has not happened.

Why isn't there a big increase in people taking part in sports after most sporting events? Perhaps it is a mistake to assume an automatic link between watching sports and playing it. While the games are on, they actually encourage people to do just the opposite—to spend whole sunny days not out playing sports, but inside sitting on the sofa with the curtains shut to stop the sun shining on the TV screen and spoiling the view. We don't expect half the audience of a hit musical to apply to drama school the next day, yet we seem to expect it of sporting events.

We might have sat on the sofa doing an impression of Usain Bolt's bowandarrow signature pose. But how many of us have been inspired by watching him sprint (短跑) 100 meters? The highlevel performances on show only remind people that they could never match the elite (精英) athletes in their sporting achievements even if they trained full time.

Maybe participation in sports is not the right legacy to expect after a major sporting event. It's not so much that the Olympics failed to get people to participate but rather that this was never going to be the result. The Olympics can do many things, but maybe this cannot necessarily be one of them.

解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“to spend whole sunny ... the sun shining on the TV screen (在阳光明媚的日子里不出去运动,而是坐在沙发里,拉上窗帘,防止阳光照射在电视屏幕上)”及倒数第二段中的“The highlevel performances ... even if they trained full time.”可知,在电视上观看比赛使得人们在阳光明媚的日子里不出去运动,同时运动员的高水平的表现提醒人们,即使普通人全职训练,也无法与精英运动员相提并论。因此大多数体育赛事之后,进行体育运动的人没有大幅增加。故选B。
课后课时作业(三)
156
解析:主旨大意题。文章第一段作者以自己为例,谈到自己看比赛时有了想去运动的想法,但仅仅是想法而已。接下来的段落提到大多数体育赛事之后,进行体育运动的人没有大幅增加的原因。最后一段提出也许进行体育运动,并不是大型体育赛事之后的必要选择。所以文章主要探讨的问题为是否大的体育赛事会让我们进行运动。故选D。

I started out my career as an editor for a travel magazine. I didn't really mind the work, but I wanted something more challenging. My sister sent me some details about a content management position in a digital reading company. The job was a seemingly perfect mix of my skills and interests, so I jumped at it.

However, soon after I joined the company, its model changed to focus on education, and everything about my position changed. I was asked to take on the completely different roles of selling the products to teachers and training people. I had no experience in sales, training or education. On top of that, I'm an introvert (内向的人). I felt more than a little outside my comfort zone.
I knew I wanted to grow as an individual and make a serious impact on the company. I told myself that everything feels overwhelming (令人不知所措的) at first and I should at least try. In a way, I felt like I didn't have a choice. I knew jumping out of the nest was the right thing for me, even though it felt pretty awful.

I was fortunate to be surrounded by very helpful people, both at work and at home. My best friend reminded me that I had taken huge leaps of faith in the past and told me I would pull through just fine. It also helped that my boss seemed to have more confidence in my capabilities than I did. She never asked if I thought I could do it; she only asked if I was interested in trying.
I spent hours researching my company's products. I asked lots of questions and spoke to so many teachers and there were soon more good experiences than difficult ones. I looked for opportunities to put in extra effort. The more I did, the better I felt.

Over time, I discovered that the job was something I could do and liked doing. It was incredibly rewarding to see the company grow and know that I had something to do with its success. Sure, I made mistakes and took on more than I could handle. But I also learned that it's important to take risks and accept new opportunities, even when you're not sure whether you'll do well. I don't think there's anything worse than failing because you refuse to even try. I'm so glad I tried, and know I'll do it again.
